The Critics Agree
Unfortunately, one of the things about Fat Princess that most critics were able to agree on is that the online play is in definite need of some tweaking. Hopefully Titan's upcoming patch will fix the lag and the difficulty in connecting to a game.
"Fat Princess has a lot of problems when connecting to other users, often hanging on the loading screen." -- Tom Mc Shea, Gamespot
"Unfortunately, the connection issues I suffered while trying to play this game were still very prevalent, and it's hampered my enjoyment of the game at times." -- Jim Sterling, Destructoid
"The only thing that will hamper you from having a great time is online lag." -- Ian Guss, GamePro
The Critics Disagree
Fat Princess' matches tend to run a little long, and not all critics are fans of these extended game sessions. Some felt that the gameplay supports the lengthy battles, but others grew bored.
"Fat Princess is both charming and amusing but it's also nicely designed and capable of holding a player's interest due to the diversity and variety found within.">" -- Ben Dutka, PSX Extreme
"The back-and-forth nature of the matches keeps things consistently interesting…" -- Jim Sterling, Destructoid
"I cooked and ate an entire meal, returned to the joypad and the match was still going on. Neither team had made any progress. " -- Dan Whitehead, Eurogamer
The Word on Twitter
